Disseminazione nel Contesto Internazionale delle Prove non Distruttive nel Settore dell’ingegneria Civile e dei Beni Culturali.: La collaborazione tra AIPnD e IAEA

Abstract

Since 2019, the Italian Association for Non-Destructive Testing has been collaborating with the International Atomic Energy Agency in the sector of development and certification of Non Destructive Testing and during the interventions for recovery after natural and non-natural disasters. In this context Italian experts have had the opportunity to take part to many international technical cooperation missions, at national and regional level, giving training about methods for structural assessment of damaged buildings and on the use of non-destructive testing aimed to analyze the integrity of buildings affected by disasters. These missions have often taken place in complex environmental conditions, due to the geopolitical situation of the areas, like in Beirut or Damascus.

However, in any case, the contribution of Italian technicians has been relevant, particularly with reference to the approach to the buildings classified as cultural heritage. It has to be underlined that our national history and culture eases the knowledge transfer to different geographical contexts, and that Italian skills in this specific sector are relevant, as well as appreciated worldwide.
